DV 2026 Segments – Aldens Hill, Tennyson’s Lane Segments
Overview – Distance: 107 km, Climbing: 1300 m
Café stop – Hambledon, Haslemere
A couple of old favourites here! Tennyson’s Lane is at the limit of the “distance to segment” so this is a long ride.
This is a “there and back” route via Albury and Bramley. At the Bramley mini roundabout, go straight over and along Snowdenham Lane, which becomes Thorncombe Street. You will come to a junction with a double fronted house ahead. Take the sharp right, signposted “Godalming 2” and up Aldens Hill. In the winter, there is often a large puddle at the bottom of the hill!
Alden’s Hill segment starts at the bridge (in the puddle and gravel)! The climb is narrow and steep, but the reward is the view as you go past Coombe Farm (once a café). Push on to the finish past some iron gates on your right. Turn left at the end.
Continue to Munstead then on to Hambledon for a possible coffee at Hambledon Village Shop. Press on along Prestwick Lane towards Haslemere. Turn left onto Petworth Road and on a left-hand bend take the right to Petworth Lane into West Sussex. Follow the route to Jobsons Lane and take a right up the single track Jay’s Lane, which joins Tennyson’s Lane which is a sharp right uphill.
The Tennyson’s Lane segment starts at the junction with Jay’s Lane, which makes a flying start tricky! The segment wiggles it’s way up the narrow road and finishes at the car park.
Descend towards Haslemere and possibly stop for a large cake in the town centre before retracing the route home.
